1879 Morgan Dollar PR67 Cameo

1879 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. Mostly brilliant, with a bit of
patchy haziness in the peripheral areas. Both the strike and
contrast exhibited by this outstanding specimen are noteworthy for
the issue. While 1,100 proof Morgans were officially recorded as
having been struck, Breen asserted that the Mint only produced 750
pieces and then melted 100 of those in 1880. Needless to say, it
becomes a moot point for those specimens preserved carefully enough
to earn this lofty designation. Census: 11 in 67 Cameo, 2 finer
(11/05).(Registry
